Hennie Otto Wins Italian Open

Hennie Otto of South Africa held on to claim a second Italian Open victory by two shots in Turin, while Stephen Gallacher came up just short of an automatic Ryder Cup spot after finishing third.

Otto, who won the event in 2008, shot a four-under-par 68 to finish with a 20-under total of 268 and hold off David Howell, who surged up the leader board with a 63 to finish second. Howell beat Gallacher (65) by one shot.

■ Austin Ernst won the L.P.G.A. Tour’s Portland Classic with a par on the first hole of a playoff against South Korea’s I. K. Kim. Ernst shot a five-under 67 in the final round to get to 14 under at Columbia Edgewater. Kim, the first- and second-round leader, carded a 68.

■ Fred Couples rallied to win the Champions Tour’s Shaw Charity Classic, chipping in for eagle for a course-record nine-under 61 and beating Billy Andrade with a tap-in birdie on the first hole of a playoff.
